Best bookstore EVER. Great staff, great music, great atmosphere and an incredible collection of zines & books for the radical mind!
Zine heaven!!! I envy the people of Chicago who can shop at Quimby's whenever they want. Oh, to live that life! I stop here whenever I'm in town and spend a small fortune stocking up on the latest zines and imported comics and whatever else catches my eye (see pic).
We came from out of state and were told about this bookstore. We were so excited and were SO happy upon coming inside. It’s a very intentionally picked selection and you can tell in the best way possible.
My husband and I are a magic duo new to Logan Square, and Peter, the co-owner, kindly let us put our show flyers in his store. It was such a generous and welcoming gesture 💫 I love how grounded and community-focused Quimby’s is. Spaces like this make a neighborhood feel alive with creativity and local spirit.
